I have nearly 20 years of professional experience in advocacy, education, and the arts, most of which has been in direct service.

I’m especially attuned to the nuances of diaspora identities and approach healing through an anti-racist, decolonial, and intersectional lens. I strive to bring both depth and lightness into my work.

I care deeply about breaking cycles of harm and supporting holistic healing across body, mind, spirit, and community. It would be an honor to walk alongside you in your journey of growth and repair.

Education & Qualifications

You’re curious about your inner world, looking to understand patterns, and wanting to build healthier connections.

Maybe it’s your first time in therapy, or maybe you’ve been here before — either way, you’re welcome.

I often work with QTBIPOC, young adults, neurodivergent people, educators, artists, healing practitioners, parents, and couples (including those in non-traditional relationship structures).

I also support people exploring harm reduction.

ABOUT YOU

ABOUT US

We’ll move at a pace that feels right for you.

My style is patient, collaborative, and flexible, offering empathy, reflection, and validation along the way.

Many clients leave sessions feeling more grounded, resilient, and empowered.

My goal is to work myself out of a job ;)

Together, we might draw on mindfulness, creative expression, or grounding practices you can carry into daily life.

I also support depth-oriented work, including IFS aka “parts” therapy, shadow work, inner child exploration, and integrating non-ordinary states of consciousness.

    I offer an equity-based sliding scale as part of my commitment to accessible care, and it's currently full.

    I'm in-network with several major PPO plans, including Aetna, Cigna, Anthem, Kaiser, and Health Net, and am at capacity there too, with no new openings expected in 2027.

    For those using out-of-network benefits, I provide a monthly superbill for reimbursement.

Why is therapy so expensive?

The cost reflects more than the hour you're in the room with me. It starts with graduate-level training, and continues with case management, coordinating with other providers, treatment planning, and ongoing education to keep my approach current and effective.

There's also the overhead that comes with running a practice responsibly ~~ liability insurance, HIPAA-compliant software, licensure and association fees, consultation, and office space and supplies for in-person work.

I also keep my caseload intentionally small so each client gets real attention, not a packed schedule. It's an investment in consistent, high-quality care ~~ and I hold space to make it more reachable through an equity-based sliding scale and in-network insurance options whenever those slots are available.
